Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask Could Go On To Face Batman In The DCEU

This week brought the awesome news that Ewan McGregor has been cast in Birds of Prey as crime boss Black Mask, the main antagonist of the all-female team-up film. For one, it’s great to see McGregor joining the DC universe, but it’s also good to finally have Black Mask on the big screen, after a few false starts like David Ayer’s Gotham City Sirens.

Roman Sionis is one of the biggest Batman villains yet to feature in the movies, which is somewhat of a double-edged sword. Yes, we’re happy to see him in Birds of Prey, but it would also have been cool to have the super criminal battle the Dark Knight as well. Turns out that it might still happen, though.

The Wrap’s Umberto Gonzales – who first broke the story of McGregor’s casting – revealed that he believes the actor may’ve signed a multi-picture deal with WB, which could mean he’ll appear in a future Batman movie.

“Never say never. Most DC actors have 3 pictures plus cameo clauses written into their contracts so Batman could face off with Black Mask down the line!”

As The Batmanis still very much in the pre-production stages, though, anything could happen and, for all we know, it’s totally possible that Black Mask will return to face off with the Caped Crusader in a few years’ time. Fingers crossed, eh?
